About Landoss
Our Mission
To identify, mobilize, rehabilitate, treat and
empower South Sudanese leprosy and
neglected diseases afflicted persons and
advocate for all causes highlighting and

Introduction
The conflict and economic challenges have
added to the already fragile situation of needy
sections of the communities suffering from
certain tropical diseases. Leprosy is one of 20th
diseases recognised as neglected tropical
disease (NTDs). According to the World Health
Organization, NTDs affect nearly 1.5 billion
people in 149 countries. Specific data for South
Sudan is not available yet. Given that general
reason, Leprosy and Neglected Diseases
Organization: South Sudan was conceived and
registered to respond to not only leprosy, but
also other neglected tropical diseases and health
related issues including: water and sanitation,
food & livelihood security, education and social
empowerment.
